Kids Today

There are some Horse Chestnuts at the top of my road. All over the pavement lie some conkers that have fallen from the tree and been ignored. Some of them are so big and promising that I'm having a hard time not taking them home to prepare for my own use.

How is this possible? When I was a kid we'd be climbing up to get the best conkers before they fell in case I missed them.

Preposterous!
